It’s no secret that I have a love affair with the Loeffler Randall shoes, and it’s also no secret that I love a good deal. Which is why my eyes sparkled and my fingers itched to do a little online shopping when I caught whiff of Barefoot Tess’s generous sale on that very brand! Just enter LRN30 at checkout for 30% off ALL Loeffler Randall shoes. Spectacular! Especially considering that this includes the “Dorrit” sandal, featured in just about any fashion magazine summer issue:

Pretty in metallic, adorning your foot with a tinsel necklace made of shiny leather ruffles, this sandal is one of my favorites for the season.

But wait! There’s more! While you’re there, check out their famous Trunk Sale, and take an extra 35% off already marked-down prices when you enter code 35OFF at checkout.

Have a beautiful, sunny weekend, everyone–and don’t forget to celebrate the warmth of the season in stylish sandals!

Pierre Hardy, a designer whose shoes cost well over the $3-400 mark, is designing a reasonably-priced collection for Gap (Shomore has already talked about it here). I strongly urge you to go take a peek (I keep checking for new styles beside the few they have on, can’t wait to see the rest of the collection).

I have to admit, I’m strongly attracted to these Chloe-esque wooden platforms ($98)–very chic and elegant, and pitched at an angle my heel-sensitive feet could probably take:

I’m also entertaining the illusion that these elegant Mary-Jane nude flats (also $98) could actually elongate my legs if worn with the right skirt:

I’ll probably end up getting a pair, as I know myself–a sucker for good and reasonably-priced design!

Maybe I can’t sing with all the voices of the mountains or paint with all the colors of the wind, but you better believe I can sniff out a good shoe deal in my vicinity.

With that in mind, I took a deep breath and plunged into the chaos that is the Barney’s Warehouse sale this past weekend. For those of you unfamiliar with this storied event, it’s a once a year sale that runs for a couple weeks and basically involves Barney’s trying to clear out all their leftovers. The bargains (and consequently the madness) get progressively larger and larger as the sale goes along, so if you’re willing to hunt through the dregs at the end, you can snag yourself some really excellent deals. Or some unidentifiable articles of clothing that might be shirts or skirts or legwarmers.

I was out of luck on the clothing front this year, but what I did manage to walk away with was a pair of Christian Louboutin moccasin-style laced flats for a mere $180 (as opposed to the original sticker price of $725)! Why the Pocahontas reference up top? See for yourself.

The color and styling and the contrasting stitches certainly put me in mind of Pocahontas, though I bet she never had such stylish footwear.

And because I couldn’t bear the thought of those lovely red soles being scuffed to death on the cruel sidewalks, I took these babies straight to the cobbler, where he added a Vibram sole in cherry red. This particular cobbler is known for matching his soles to the color of the soles of your shoes (might help the woman in this article who needs her soles to be gray or white), a service perfectly tailored to the Louboutin-lovers out there who want the red to remain without scuffing. The Pursebloggers are discussing it over here.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody! And how do we express our love for you? By sending some shoe-love your way, that’s how!

Bluefly is having a President’s Day Sale starting today until Monday, 20% off mostly everything, and you have got, got, got to check their shoe selections. The choices are pretty fabulous and the prices quite nice, but wait, there’s more! I had to rub my eyes and double-check this, because OMG, these prices are not to be believed. Their Lucky Shop for the Ultimate Closet exclusive features deals you have to grab–or you’ll never forgive yourself.

First up, they have a variety of the rejuvenated  famous Kork-Ease platforms. Retailing for $165 and up, you can now get them in a variety of colors and sizes for $25 (that’s twenty-five, yup).

But the real savings come when you look at the Pedro Garcia fabulous collection of evening shoes. I don’t wear heels but when they only cost $50 as opposed to their regular price of $300, $425, and $425–I’m inclined to buy them just because they’re so pretty to look at:

Happy Valentine Day’s Shopping, shoe lovers!

I’d say “run, don’t walk” over to shopbop.com for their 70% off sale, but since it’s online, I guess I’ll say “dsl, don’t dial-up” in that direction.

If you’re a 38.5, you can snap up these super Mod, chic Danger booties from DAVIS by Ruthie Davis for only $183 (originally $610).

Want to go a bit taller with that look? Then pick the Diabolik tall boot version, which is now only $270 instead of $898.

Plus, these could double as excellent boots for your cold-as-ice femme fatale costume. Think Miranda Frost from Die Another Day.
